We are seeing frequent freeze ups while browsing the web, leaving stuck processes that need be killed.
An indication as to their state when the freeze is of importance here:
ps aux | awk '/Z/ {print $11}' ps aux | awk '/D/ {print $11}'
suse-6thltsp:~ # ps aux | awk '/Z/ {print $11}' COMMAND awk suse-6thltsp:~ # ps aux | awk '/D/ {print $11}' COMMAND /usr/lib/samba/classic/nmbd /usr/lib/samba/classic/smbd /usr/sbin/squid (squid) /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs suse-6thltsp:~ #
This would help us determine if the process is merely zombing is really is being killed. Galeon isn't segfaulting is it?

Other than nightly reboots, are there any other low processor load browsers that might be better than Galeon or do we just need a newer version?
Not sure what the ps aux | awk '/Z/ {print $11}' ps aux | awk '/D/ {print $11}' Mean, but this is pointing to a possible samba problem? What do you think? Thanks Rob Keeling Network Manager Queen Elizabeth`s Grammar School
